Hohe Fürleg, Mountain summit in Karwendel, Austria

Hohe Fürleg is a steep rock summit of Wetterstein limestone in the Gleirsch-Halltal chain of the Karwendel, at 2570 m. About 250 m east lies the Walderkampspitze (2565 m), forming a double summit. To the south the walls drop toward the Inntal, to the north toward the Vomper Loch; a rock ridge links it northwest over the Fallbach-Scharte to the Großen Bettelwurf, with the Walderkampturm rising in between.

Hohe Fürleg was first climbed in 1880, according to the Chinese Wikipedia entry; the German article gives no first-ascent date. The peak is a steep Wettersteinkalk rock summit forming a double summit with the Walderkampspitze (2565 m) about 250 m to the east. It is linked to the Große Bettelwurf, 1200 m to the northwest, by a rock ridge whose lowest point is the Fallbach-Scharte.

The Hohe Fürleg is climbed only by unmarked, unsecured rock routes; the sources mention no steel cables or fixed protection. The easiest ascent, from the east over the Tratten and the Walderkampspitze, reaches UIAA grade II, while the south-west flank from the Fallbachkar is rated III. The west ridge from the Fallbach-Scharte and the Bockkarlturm both demand grade IV climbing.

Parking is available near Hinterhornalm or in the Halltal area, though toll roads provide access to these starting points. The trail to the summit covers roughly 10 kilometers and involves sections with steep terrain.

The twin summit is not the only namesake: a 3243 m mountain in the Venedigergruppe also bears the name Hohe Fürleg. The first recorded ascent of this Karwendel peak dates to 1880, and the Walderkampturm rises on the ridge between it and the Fallbach-Scharte.
